When reading your posts it becomes clear that they at least delivered more than A-Eon. And they don't have a pre-payment scheme set up. And the new Commodore 64 (if it gets here) will at least be something cool and unique, it will have mojo, it can actually use common 2010 level productivity and Internet apps, it will probably be affordable, it will have cool trade marks, and people might actually consider buying the thing. That is: completely the opposite of the "x1000" (if it gets here).

All they have delivered so far is a website and a forum - period.  A-Eon don't have a pre-payment scheme either - it's called a Beta Test programme which is something completely different.  I suppose a Commodore USA 64 (it will not be a Commodore 64, notice the shorting to C=) will for some people be pretty cool and yes have mojo, but for me and many others in will just look a heap of junk.

Cool trademarks?  Commodore USA 64 doesn't sound that cool to me nor does Commodore USA Amiga.

If C=USA actually bring a single product to market I would be very surprised indeed to me its just a smear campaign.

Edit: Oh yeah and this Workbench 5.0 is just asking for trouble.  Clearly an attempt to confuse the consumer.

I wouldn't be surprised if  they didn't even actually have these cases in their possession yet, just took pictures of the cases off the internet and started hyping new machines they haven't even made real prototypes for yet. I love their website making all these announcements...
 
Go to their forums, people are asking about specifics... No answers, through someone did all but say "workbench 5" will just be linux.
 
30 million dollars, thats their budget just for one aspect of their so called business? Yeah right, I guess they spend 10 million dollars developing commodore stickers to slap on zpc's too.
 
In other news, I'm creating my own commodore (and amiga) company and website... No really I am. I haven't decided what I'm going to sell yet, BUT it will all be branded commodore and commodore amiga. I personally challenge Barry Altman, CUSA, Amiga inc, Bill Mcsilly, Hyperion or anyone else to sue me to try and enforce any commodore or amiga trademarks or copyrights.

Snowmachine springs to mind

Seriously go for it!  Don't forget to include a pet tortoise or something on the About Us page.  You could have a domain name that is one letter different to theirs.  Or even a typo like domain name, idk off hand you could have http://www.vommodoreusa.net or http://www.commodoresa.com!

@haywirepc

Well if its spiced with humour and tongue-in-cheek am sure it'll be shooting up the rankings!  Franko(?) beware! (off to check out commodore scotland) lol
